Welcome to Christmas week, and a handful of days to get your goodies for under the tree. You can still order in time from Amazon, but you may have to get it overnight or second-day delivery. Thanks to my many years of experience in just-in-time and supply chain logistics, given the volume in transit, good ... Read more

The fraud crisis in Minnesota is getting worse, and the plot thickens by the day. The latest evaluation puts the potential lost dollars at $9 billion. That is not just Minnesota funds lost in the wind, as some of these programs targeted were federal, like Medicaid, and therefore, it was all our money; we all ... Read more

I think materialism negatively affects society 364 days of the year, and many Vermont Christians who otherwise seem okay with materialism despise it on the one day I think it has positives: Christmas! As a child, Christmas was always my favorite day of the year. It was a time when we received beautifully wrapped presents, ... Read more

The Democrat party is not simply irrelevant.  Rather, it is America’s greatest adversary, driven by globalist priorities and divisive policies — a decaying shell scheming to undermine the nation that Donald Trump revived.  From the Rio Grande to the Rust Belt, patriots see the truth: This is a radical mob set on tearing apart our borders, our ...

Is our alliance with the EU still good for America? Since Donald Trump’s election, I have wondered whether (out loud on a few occasions) our alliance with Europe is still good for America. I mean the Brussels crowd. The EU/Davos types. The open-borders, bend the knee to the muslim conqueror types. I have no doubt ... Read more

First, a hat tip to Grokster Beth Scaer, an ardent Rosenwald watchdog, because she called attention to SB 406, a $20M “appropriation” to Nashua for the purchase of the Daniel Webster College(DWC) property.  Hey, what person of sound mind would NOT want DWC removed from CCP ownership?  I’m sure Rosenwald, the sponsor, and all those ...

There are two problems I see when I get frustrated over the lack of outrage about the billions of dollars stolen from social safety-net programs in Minnesota and probably beyond. One is that I don’t think fraud generates enough angst toward those who took something by deceptive practices, and the other is the unified effort ... Read more

The UK’s got problems, but it’s also got progressives, which means two things. They caused it, whatever it is, and their plan to “cure” it will make it worse. That’s not to say there aren’t those within the Labour government or the progressive establishment (or employed by the government) who don’t mean well. The issue ... Read more

Here’s a hard truth those on the Left will never acknowledge: Anyone who pays taxes in Vermont is already paying MORE than “their fair share.” We already pay the highest property taxes in the country.

A few reminders to start. No matter what they say, the alleged problem is the warming that you cause (even though it’s not you).
